Bars & Nightlife across the Denver metro
Inclusive and diverse-owned bars & nightlife businesses across the Denver metro, not just the city itself. Listed in Denver, Boulder, Englewood, Golden and Littleton.
Bars, taprooms and breweries around Denver, where the brewing scene is dense enough that a taproom often doubles as a neighborhood living room and sometimes as a coffee shop before noon. Programming and hours move week to week, so a venue's own calendar is the only reliable source for the night you plan to go. Beer hits differently at a mile up, which is not a joke local bartenders make lightly.

How many bars and clubs are listed across the Denver metro?
Eight right now, in Denver, Boulder, Englewood, Golden and Littleton. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
Are there alcohol-free options in Denver?
Alcohol-free bars and zero-proof menus are listed in this category too, and many regular bars now mix drinks without alcohol. The listing usually says which kind of place it is.
How do I know if a bar is accessible?
Ask about the entrance, restrooms and seating before you go, and check whether events move to a different room or floor. Hours and theme nights change often, so confirm the night you plan to visit.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a bar or club that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know a bar or club we're missing?
